I have a Win7PRO 64bit and when I try to uncheck the “disable Administrator” box and apply or “OK,” I get an error message that the password “does not meet policy password requirements.” My password for my account is “symbol####XXXxxxxxx” which is pretty good. Why am I getting this and how can I make the admin account work?
Thanks

Thanks Jolas- I tried this before and it does not work unfortunately. I tried again and no matter what, it says that an appropriate driver is not found when I go to the unextracted folder and use the inf file. I tried all the different methods and no go.

Thanks

With all due respect, anyone who believes anything they put in the “cloud” is secure is just not paying attention to the news. Besides Sony et. al. that Woody references in his column, just read the Washington Post this morning and yesterday- yesterday’s article touted that the Federal Government was going to save “billions” by moving their email from Exchange to GMail; then read this morning’s Post to see that GMail accounts have been hacked and compromised, including “high ranking Government officials” accounts. DUH!!!

Yes I use Dropbox and yes I encrypt specific business-related files if they are sensitive but for the most part I put nothing there that is private, corporate confidential, or anything I wouldn’t want to get into someone elses hands. That is why I carry (around my neck on a lanyard (my kids call it my “bling”) an encrypted USB drive. The whole drive is encrypted with TrueCrypt and it is copied at the end of each day to my external drive on my work computer.

Safe computing is in the hands of those using it and to assume anything in the ether is secure is just not thinking.

Try reading http://kb.mozillazine.org/Updating_add-ons
a) Verify your version modification
b) Try disabling version checking (at your own risk of course).

Thanks- the add on is not flagged as incompatible, it just does not show up on a right click of the picture. Now, this is only in Win7 Pro; it does appear in WinXP Pro sp3. Any idea why only Win7?

I just found out on the Comcast Forums that the company is aware of this and the next version of SmartZone (the email system) will fix this for Firefox. Oh well, until then it is IE8.

steve

OK- the new version of FF (3.6.4) has fixed this scrolling issue.

steve

Try something higher than 3.6.3, such as 3.9. Does that work?

Thanks but still does not work. I guess the author has stopped support so I will live with the other plugin for Firefox on Win 7.

Thanks- there are Comcast support forums but no one can find an answer and Comcast Tech Sppt. is not responsive to this query- they say use IE.

So, probably you will want to hack the extension. The first page in these Google results didn’t load for me, but you can read it using the “Cached” link: site:mozillazine.org edit xpi version number – Google Search.

Thanks- I followed the instructions but it did not work. I changed “2.0” to “3.6” but it still did not work (the current version is 3.6.3). I also changed it to 3.0 but it still does not work.

Any other ideas?

Hmmm, hopefully someone who uses Comcast can test this. I don’t suppose they have their own support forums…

Thanks- I actually use the EXIF Viewer that is the first on the list and it works but I really prefer the layout of the Opanda viewer.

Just to be clear: the triangles at the top and bottom of the scroll bar for the message list do not do anything, but you can move the “thumb” to scroll the list? When you click the triangles, do they light up in the expected manner but just not operate, or are clicks just ignored? If you right-click the arrows, do you get any plug-in related menu (Java or Flash)? If you have zoomed the display, does returning to default sizing make any difference?

Thanks for the suggestions- I am referring to the triangles at the top and bottom of the scroll bar and they do not do anything but I can move the “thumb” to scroll. The triangles do light up but nothing happens, even right clicks do nothing- no submenu either. My screen is at default size so that is not an issue either.

Click on one of you emails then try scrolling.

Thanks but that still does not allow scrolling in the upper window.
